Answer:

1/5

Explanation:

Probability calculates the likelihood of an event occurring. The likelihood of the event occurring lies between 0 and 1. It is zero if the event does not occur and 1 if the event occurs.

For example, the probability that it would rain on Friday is between o and 1. If it rains, a value of one is attached to the event. If it doesn't a value of zero is attached to the event.

probability that the ticket drawn has a number which is a multiple of 5 =

Number of tickets that are a multiple of 5 / total number of tickets

Multiple of 5 = 5, 10, 15, 20

there would be 4 tickets that would be a multiple of 5

= 4/20

To transform to the simplest form. divide both the numerator and the denominator by 4

= 1/5
